The Elements of Style by William Strunk on Free Audio Book Download

The Elements of Style is a small guide written by William Strunk, Jr. that teaches the two fundamentals of good writing: how to choose the right words and how to compose them together without wasting space. The book was later revised by StrunkвЂ™s student, E.B. White into a second edition that has become a classic. Before expanding the book in 1959, White fondly remembered the 1918 edition as a "forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English.вЂќ Since succinctness is one of the major points stressed in The Elements of Style, we recommend listening to this Librivox version of StrunkвЂ™s original text first before moving on to the later editions. Even at 43 pages, you get everything you need to begin writing clearly, economically, and powerfully. Download this free audio book from Librivox!
